29-10 large frame screw part number?

[SLT223]

Does anyone know the part number for the large frame screw high up by the top of the hammer on the square butt 29-10's? Twice I've requested one from Smith and twice they have sent the wrong one. I don't know how to be more clear on the phone with them other than to have the actual part number for them to look up.

If it's the same as the pre-1948 upper sideplate screw, I can spare one.
I suspect it is. They used the same thread pitch as the other 3 screws, just the larger head. Can you measure the OD of the head? I'll compare.

Much appreciated, but I cannot. It's somewhere in the floor mounted A/C duct in my office.......

PM me your address and I'll send you one to try.

I believe the "BUG" screw thread is 4-48, while the sideplate screws are 5-44.

What does "BUG" mean?

You're correct. Not sure what I was thinking.

I believe it is called the upper side plate screw, part number 23 on the Numrich 1917 parts diagram. Check with them or Jack First gun parts.

The "little" screw! Used on early airweight revolvers!

Call Customer Service. I purchased a used LH 29-10 a while back that was missing that screw and they sent me one for free. Good luck.

I have. They sent me the wrong screw twice. Do you have the part number they sent you?
